a day at the chronicle

I’m going to post something I wrote years ago in the 1995 timeframe. I gave up, obviously, but what I did write down is pretty damn funny. Read on. Updates from my time in Houston will be forthcoming, incidentally, but in the meantime please step into the DeLorean time machine and enjoy this *fictionalized* recounting […]

i’m not lovin’ it

I’m sitting in the McDonald’s off West Road and the Sam Houston Tollway. I was lured here by the promise of free internet access. They don’t have that, but $2.95 for two hours isn’t bad. I brought a giant sack of mail that I need to go through along with my laptop. There is no […]

venom in spiderman-3

I’m totally exposing my Spider-Man fanboy side this weekend by posting some photos that I’ll probably have to take down once the wonderful folks at Sony catch wind. In the meantime, here’s some shots of Topher Grace transforming into Venom from the upcoming Sony Picture release SPIDERMAN 3. And last but not least, a previously […]

the interview that time forgot

So, I was meticulously going through YouTube results for the word ”DeLorean” and I ran across this little gem. A guy I used to work with named Michael ”Berg” Bergeron shot it. I have almost no recollection about it. Talk about deju vu. Or rather, the reverse of deja vu. By the way, my answer […]

spiderman 3

Check out the new 2.5 minute Spider-Man 3 trailer on iFilm. Looks like director Sam Raimi has topped himself again. Update! Why do I end blog entries with a cliched phrase like ”looks like so and so has done it again!” Gaw. I’m hoping to get back some of my personality after getting over mental […]

my pxl-2000 movies podcast 9

I whipped together a quick podcast tonight featuring black and white video that I shot with my Fischer-Price PXL-2000 camcorder. It could film several minutes of video on a standard audio cassette. I transferred the videos I shot to VHS tape so the first transfer technically happened 18 years ago. Wow! Click the image below […]

it’s alive!

I was fumbling in my drawer trying to locate the only pair of scissors that I own. I made eye contact with my Matrix phone for a moment and thought I’d plug it in one more time just to see if anything would happen. I plugged it in. Nothing. That was several hours ago. Just […]

that 70’s show

I’ve got an entire trough of photographs to scan into the computer. Today’s round of scans comes from some old 110 film that my parents shot of me in 1971. The horse thing in the first photo had a spring that used to pinch my leg and make me mad. This photo must’ve been taken […]

85 hour work week

I don’t know if I’ve ever worked this much in 6 days… ever! Okay, well, there was this one time when I had to grade two weeks of papers for my 7th grade Biology class. I was having grading paper nightmares for weeks thereafter. I was twitching also, but I think that was just me. […]
